 Reef
Kalkwasser™ is a pure calcium hydroxide with
unsurpassed purity and solubility characteristics.
Calcium hydroxide is used to prepare limewater (kalkwasser)
solutions that will maintain calcium concentrations
at natural seawater levels. Kalkwasser solutions maintain
calcium directly and carbonate alkalinity indirectly.
However, its capacity to perform these functions is
dependent on evaporation rate and CO2 concentration.
If the these two factors are insufficient you can
provide additional calcium with Reef Advantage Calcium™,
Reef Complete™, or Reef Calcium™, and
carbonate alkalinity with Reef Builder™ or Reef
Carbonate™ (do not mix these directly with a
kalkwasser solution).
While Reef Kalkwasser is a high
purity and economical limewater mix, the beginner,
or someone with not as much time to devote to their
system, my prefer to use other less involved methods
for maintaing proper ionic concentration levels. (see

DIRECTIONS:
Never add this product directly to the tank.
Add 3 g (1 teaspoon) to 4 L (1 gallon*)
of water and mix to dissolve. If using pure
water, a fully saturated solution is prepared
by adding 6 g (2 teaspoons) to 4 L (1 gallon*).
Drip this solution into tank. Monitor pH and
carbonate alkalinity. Adjust rate of addition
to maintain a stable pH (8.3–8.4). HINTS:
Adding 4 L (1 gallon*) of a saturated kalkwasser
solution to 150 L (40 gallons*) will raise calcium
by 24 mg/L. Always use the clear supernatant
(top solution) only and do not allow undissolved
material to enter the aquarium. Keep this container
tightly closed when not in use and minimize
solution/air contact to avoid calcium carbonate
formation/precipitation.
Avoid
contact or breathing dust. Do not eat or get
in eyes. In case of contact, flush area with
water for 5–10 minutes. In case of eye
contact, wash eyes with water immediately (5–10
minutes) and seek medical attention.
